Method Detail

isEmpty

public static boolean isEmpty(java.lang.String str)

Determines if given string is empty or null.

Parameters:

str - the String to evaluate

Returns:

true if the String is null or contains only whitespace, false otherwise

join

public static java.lang.String join(java.util.List<java.lang.String> stringsToJoin,
                                    java.lang.String separator)

Joins the Strings in the given List together into a single String using the specified separator String.

Parameters:

stringsToJoin - the List of Strings to join

separator - the String to be inserted between each element of the array

Returns:

the concatenated String

stringForTime

public static java.lang.String stringForTime(long milliseconds)

Formats the given time duration value (in milliseconds) as a time string in one of the following formats:

• HH:MM:SS where the timeframe is greater than 1 hour
• MM:SS where the timeframe is less than an hour
• M:SS where the timeframe is less than ten minutes

Parameters:

milliseconds - the time duration to format, in milliseconds

Returns:

the formatted string expression for the given time duration

join

public static java.lang.String join(java.lang.String[] stringsToJoin,
                                    java.lang.String separator)

Joins the Strings in the given array together into a single String using the specified separator String.

Parameters:

stringsToJoin - the array of Strings to join

separator - the String to be inserted between each element of the array

Returns:

the concatenated String

replaceAll

public static java.lang.CharSequence replaceAll(java.lang.CharSequence template,
                                                java.lang.String[] sources,
                                                java.lang.CharSequence[] destinations)

This method is based on Android's TextUtils.replace(CharSequence, String[], CharSequence[]) and extends its functionality by replacing all instances of each String specified in the sources parameter with the associated destination CharSequence. It is important to note that this exists for CharSequences (which are not necessarily Strings) that have Spanned portions and for which the relevant spans must be maintained. If we were to use String.replaceAll(String, String) in cases such as these, the span information would be lost.

Parameters:

template - the CharSequence on which we should perform replacements

sources - an Array of Strings to find and replace in template

destinations - an Array of CharSequences corresponding to the sources strings which will serve as replacements

Returns:

the CharSequence with all replacements applied
